WISHES OF AID AND LIMBS FOR KIDS

Now a partnership between RC FORBES PARK, D3830 and RC ROXAS, D3850.

Wishes of Aid and Limbs for Kids (WALK) is a humanitarian project of the Rotary Club of Forbes Park, Philippines. The project aims to assist physically challenged children. A person’s physical mobility goes beyond the ability to move oneself from one place to another. By providing limbs to physically handicapped kids, we endeavor to propel one’s confidence and self-worth towards personal growth and productivity. This is Our Mission.

PROJECT VISION

Every child deserves a shot at his dreams. Our vision is to see kids with disabilities grow up having equal opportunities, happy, confident and living with a passion for life.

PROJECT MISSION

We endeavor and strive to assist physically challenged children, bringing them hope and confidence by providing artificial limbs.

How it all Began:

WALK started as an offshoot of RCFP’s disaster relief operations in Kalibo, Aklan in July 2008. Arnel Ropero, a 12 yo boy with congenital deformities of the arm and legs was brought to their attention by the Rotary Club of Kalibo Pres. Megs Lunn. Arnel’s determination to live life to the fullest confirmed our resolved to help him. With the help of Doctors of PGH and Tzu Chi Foundation, Arnel was all smiles as he walked for the first time in his life.

Now, PROJECT WALK (Wishes of Aid and Limbs for Kids) is a humanitarian project of the Rotary Club of Forbes Park in partnership with Tzu Chi Foundation and Rotary Club of Roxas, Philippines. The project aims to assist physically challenged children. A person’s physical mobility goes beyond the ability to move oneself from one place to another. By providing limbs to physically handicapped kids, we endeavor to propel one’s confidence and self-worth towards personal growth and productivity. This is Our Mission.
